Our modding community has been with us for 20 years. We love what they do and hope to see more make a career out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Starfield character customisation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Talking about character customisation in Starfield, Howard revealed in the aforementioned AMA that players will get to pick their pronouns and tinker with their in-game avatars in numerous ways.<\/p>\n<p>Howard said: \u201cReally excited about what the team has done with character creation here. Including choosing background, skills, etc. You also can pick your pronoun (he, she, they) and we\u2019ve recorded all the relevant dialogue to support that choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Starfield trailer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ahead of the Starfield release date on 11th November you can check out the latest trailer below.
